I was happy with LAZADA until... this nightmare experience.

[ano727]

I was happy with LAZADA for quite some time. I ordered and received several items already. Some stuff are good, some not so good, but the delivery services were commendable. I got timely feedback about status of my order and delivery, payment was flexible (card or cash on delivery), and I got the ordered products without any problem.

Until I had to return one item because it was defective.

Here's the thing.

I ordered a 4-set Solar Powered outdoor LED light. Asked my technician to test them - 3 were working properly, and 1 was definitely defective on arrival. So no problem, I asked my technician to climb my tall roof and install the three working units. By the way, each unit has it's own box.

And then I returned the defective one after a couple of days, definitely within the return period. Endorsed it through DHL which is LAZADA's designated courier for returns. Paperworks are OK, and DHL staff were courteous. So no problem, sealed, signed and endorsed to DHL.

Days passed, and I received no feedback from Lazada.

After I week, I called LAZADA, explained the situation, gave the details. The helpdesk agent confirmed that LAZADA already received the defective item, and will take another 3 business days for them to assess the returned item. To check if it's really defective. Agent was surprised that I did not receive any email or sms confirming that they received the returned unit.

Passed another week, and no feedback. So I called them again. The helpdesk agent said it is CONFIRMED DEFECTIVE. Again, this different agent was surprised that I did not get any email or sms notification. Agent said it will take a few more days to process the replacement (I chose direct replacement instead of reimbursement). After the discussion, they sent an email with ticket number.

After another week and no feedback, I called again. Same story, gave out all the details, and the agent in the end said, YES IT'S CONFIRMED DEFECTIVE, but you need to send back all 4 items!!!

Wth, I explained to the agent that all 3 are in good condition and ALREADY INSTALLED. The agent insists that everything has to be returned, even if just 1 out of 4 is defective. The agent promised to escalate this to his superior for consideration. I requested to talk directly to his superior. The agent asked me to wait... so I waited... and waited... and waited... and after 15minutes and no one is picking up the phone, I had to turn off my phone. It is quite a big hassle for me to deinstall the 3 perfectly working units, and return them to LAZADA, so that they will return 4 good units. That's a big waste of time, energy, and packing materials which is really not necessary.

I think there's something terribly wrong with the way LAZADA handled this particular Return case. And what's more, even up to now, when I check my account, the return is still not registered. All this, after I have called them several times, and emailed them several times.

I was happy with LAZADA until this nightmare of having to return a defective item. I wonder if management is even aware of this issue, it could be unique and one-off case, or WORSE, it could be HAPPENING TO MANY GENUINE CUSTOMERS of LAZADA.

To LAZADA management, if in case you come across this, I know you value customer satisfaction, and I would really appreciate fast and proper resolution of this issue. I expect no less.

I hope all LAZADA users here do not experience a similar issue. But better be careful than sorry.

Again, I was happy with LAZADA until I had to return a faulty item.

Sorry, my first time to rant here in Tsikot.

Ako hindi ko maisip na bakit powerbank 1month lead time ibinigay sa akin. Pero smartphone wala 1 week andyan narin. Pareho namang lit-ion ang battery.

Check the details about the item. If it says "This item ships from abroad", then it would automatically have a lengthy lead time.

Items that are available locally can be delivered in as little as 24 hours.

Yup nasa details nga na kapag powerbank almost a month. Kaso nga wala explanation. I was just tginking na powerbank lang yun. Battery lang but if you buy smartphone 5-7 days lang. Eh same lang naman na may battery.

To avoid situations like this, you should've returned everything included in the item. That's just how their processing works even if we find it impractical or tedious. So you're incomplete return is sitting in their warehouse until someone there is smart enough to figure out what to do. But most employees are robots, they follow procedures to the letter.

Tax free ba lazada? Kasi angmamahal items nila taz 1 week replacement lang, lugi [emoji1]

[dishcom]

Never pa akong bumili sa online ng big item or big amount.. mas ok sa akin yung na test ko muna bago ko nilabas ng store. Almost natatapatan naman nila price sa online..

If you really want to escalate your complaint to management , I suggest you contact Pierre Poignant, the COO of lozada for the Asia pacific region. Found him thru LinkedIn. He is open to feedback whether good or bad. Good luck and hope you can make customer service in the Philippines first world [emoji2]

Basta the next time you deal with them on the phone try your best na wag mag init ang ulo mo. It is very hard given your situation. But agents are inclined to give you the absolute bare minimum pag naibuhos mo ang galit sa kanila. Its unfair, but thats just how it is.

In my case, things got moving once I turned into an "irate customer". I was patient for several months and it was only after I got really mad that my issue was resolved This wasn't Lazada btw.

[unmarked]

^^as long as hindi ka irate na namemersonal its fine I think. Although i feel (i came from that industry kasi) na when customers 'ask for help' genuinely, instead of demanding it (the American way, entitlement etc) mas tutulungan ka rin talaga.

[shadow]

Hinde rin at least based on my experience. Whether office equipment or residential maayos naman delivery. Delivery guys send SMS early on the morning Kung on the way na sila. So pag nasa bahay pa ako I'll call the number and ask Kung malapit na sila Then I'll just wait or just leave authorization letter pag hinde pa
